Has anyone just returned from Bansko?

Has anyone out there just returned from Bansko? Five of us go next Saturday so we would like to have any up todate first hand info on the slopes. We are all intermidiate skiers Smile and Expert Booze Any news would be good.

Just back from Borovets, but sat next to a group from Bansko on the plane. The news is not good, they said that most of the pistes were closed due to lack of snow by the end of the week. They went Sat to Sat and could only ski up until the wed. Here's hoping for some sow.

I was there last week end.
Cold weather but sunny. The wind always starts to come in the afternoon.
There is plenty of snow but it is hard... And in the afternoon a lot of icy patches appear... Sad
